Afternoons for Friday 30 January 2015
1:10 Your Song
All Tomorrow's Parties - The Velvet Underground and Nico. Chosen by Ian Loughran of Dunedin

2:10 The Pig Huntin' Preacher
Paul Askin is an avid pig-hunter - he's also a baptist minister. The Canterbury-based pastor is the author of the Pig Hunters Handbook - a practical how-to manual which he wrote to keep him occupied on a long plane ride to England. He talks to Afternoons about his passion for the outdoors.
2:20 Kelmarna Gardens Threatened
Not far from Auckland's Queen Street is Kelmarna Organic City Farm, growing vegies and grazing cows within sight of the Skytower. But the farm faces an uncertain future. At 3.30 this afternoon Justin Gregory takes a tour and tells us why.
2:30 NZ Reading - Rangatira # 10
Miss Weale has arranged cabins for the Rangatira going home to New Zealand, but before sailing, Paratene and Horomona go to see the painting done of the group in London. It doesn't represent them truly at all. Jenkins turns up on board the Flying Foam to say goodbye and there's a feeling of loss as the great adventure in England comes to an end.
